If you honestly dont and he does. You are doomed.

I didnt say that. If he wants them and you dont, then the relationship is doomed already. You can only and he can only feel the way you feel. Be honest. Dont compromise on something as important as children. Bringing children into the world and not wanting them totally, is horrible. a child can feel they arent wanted. Not to mention being around a child, that you dont want, they feel it.

If you don't want to have kids now itis better that you guys take different directions. If you feel pushed to do this and actually respond to it you might regret significantly in the future. Let him move on. I think he is just looking to settle down and have a family, that's it. Good luck girl, I wish you the best!

I think this decision should be taken by u and ur fiance in the interest of both of u. If he like the kids than it is his right to have the kids. But he should give u some time to think about it and prepare ur mind towards this responsibility.

your still young so maybe you could change your mind. i dont want kids either and dont plan on having kids for a while. if i do it'll be when i'm around 25 years old. that's a good age to have kids because you're usually tired of partying and want to settle down by then. no need to rush into children right now. just tell him you're not ready to have kids and dont know if you will be anytime soon. hope this helps a little

Since this discussion was started 3 months ago, I would be interested to know what you did do? But let him go and move on. There is no compromise in this, especially if you are certain that you DON'T want any children. I curious, "How did you two end up engaged and in such a serious relationship without discussing what each of you wanted out of life?' This seems like a big red flag to me. What other things do you two differ on and have not discuss. Basically my advice is to let him go, painful though it may be, which is why you should discuss these things before you enter into a serious relationship.

Every person needs to decide for himself or herself what things are 'deal breakers' in regards to a relationship. For example, some couples can get through cheating...others can't ... that's a deal breaker. For me, if my fiance didn't want kids, that would be a deal breaker ... I could never go into a relationship with someone who didn't want something so important to me. You and your finace need to decide how important these thigns are... and if it's worth leaving a relationship over. If you don't talk about it before you get married, you will regret it. If you will resent him if you have kids - don't marry him - and if he will resent you for not having kids - don't marry him. That simple.
